How to Increase Your Pinterest Engagement by 275%

Did you know that Pinterest will generate you four times more money per click than Twitter? And 27% more than Facebook?

It’s one of the most popular social sites with over 70 million members, 80% of those members being women. Because of these numbers, you have no choice but to leverage Pinterest.

So, the real question that comes to mind is how do you generate revenue from Pinterest? Sadly, it’s not as simple as posting cool images to your board. There is actually a lot of science behind Pinterest marketing.

For example, there is a 36% increase in likes for pins that contain prices, and there is an 80% increase in engagement for pins that contain a call to action. And if you are able to leverage trending topics, you can get a 94% increase in clicks as well.

To show you how you can leverage Pinterest from a marketer’s perspective, I decided to create an infographic that breaks down everything you need to know about Pinterest.
